"The present epoch will perhaps be above all the epoch of space. We are in the epoch of simultaneity: we are in the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed." (Foucault, "Heterotopias")
perform a continuous utterance:
over a space, she clarified
recite the lyric
quality
that is
simultaneous
circles drawn in pencil
on a white board
contingent
or history laid out
on a table of elements:
artifacts, debris, fragments
each piece a present
intervention
between past
future
an ensemble of relations
proximity site grid
real unreal virtual
in the cemetery both
alive and dead
the illicit meeting
contained and
secret
time sliced into
pieces
laid out across
a horizon
at once moving forward
standing
still
